[QUOTE="Jagger, post: 442900, member: 16628"] The object of legal interpretation isn't to ascertain the context of the words. The object is to ascertain the will of the lawmakers at the time they made the Constitution. Interpreting the word "miltia" isn't as difficult a problem as construing the word "people." The term "militia" - like every other word, term, clause, phrase or sentence in the Constitution - should be interpreted by applying the rules of interpretation. The uses of the word by the founders in other documents or speeches is irrelevant and inadmissible, unless allowed by the rules of interpretation. Irrelevant and inadmissible, absent a showing that the evidence is admissible under the rules of legal interpretation. [/QUOTE]
